Kenny Omega not interested in WWE

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Omega revealed that he has on open invitation to join NXT when his contract with NJPW expires. However, he told SI that is not interested in signing with WWE at the moment and he might never join them.

“I would rather be the legend that never stepped foot in WWE but was better than every single one of them and did something that none of those guys could do in their prime or could ever do if they left WWE and tried,” Omega said.

“I’m pushing the barrier every single day. I’ll take all my matches against WWE’s best matches, I’ll put it up against Ring of Honor’s best matches, or whatever promotion you want, and I guarantee people will be more entertained with my matches than theirs,” he added.
